Alan Longo, born April 2, 1950 and nicknamed Baldie, is an American mobster who was a captain in the Genovese crime family. He ran Brooklyn rackets from a social club in Carroll Gardens. In the 1990s his ally Alphonse Malangone and DeCavalcante boss Philip Abramo ran profitable stock scams on Wall Street, including manipulating the Mayfair IPO and using Bahamian companies to fund these deals. On April 25, 2001, Longo and Colombo acting boss Alphonse Persico were indicted for racketeering, pump-and-dump schemes, and loansharking. An undercover informant, Michael D'Urso, wore a wire during a four-hour meeting with Longo about his influence at the Fulton Fish Market. Longo said he planned to meet Persico after his release to settle debts owed to the Genovese by the Colombos for market crimes. In a taped talk, Longo said, "Don't let anyone tell you we're dead. We're here." He was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. He was released from FCI Williamsburg in South Carolina on November 24, 2010. Since then he has largely stayed out of the public eye, with no known involvement in organized crime.
